International Credit Union Day
International Credit Union (ICU) Day® celebrates the spirit of the global credit union movement. The day is recognized to reflect upon the credit union movement's history, promote its achievements, recognize hard work and share member experiences. International Credit Union (ICU) Day® has been celebrated on the third Thursday of October since 1948.
The ultimate goal is to raise awareness about the tremendous work that credit unions and other financial cooperatives are doing around the world and give members the opportunity to get more engaged. The day of festivities for credit unions and financial cooperatives globally includes fundraisers, open houses, contests, picnics, volunteering and parades.
One World Through Cooperative Finance
In 2024, we will gather together as a global movement on Thursday, October 17, to celebrate ICU Day under the theme: One World Through Cooperative Finance. At a time in our history when we seem increasingly divided, we hope our credit unions use the 76th anniversary of ICU Day to show how our movement brings people closer together through democratic, member-owned financial institutions that put people over profit.
World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) and Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions (WFCU) are giving you three ways to show that and how our movement is truly about people helping people.
